Scope and Content Note

These are 18" x 18" aerial photographs (scale 1:48,000) of Albany, Schenectady, Troy, and the Upper Hudson region taken in April and May, 1963 for the Capital District Transportation Study. Roads, bodies of water, plots of land, buildings, and trees are visible on these photographs.

Eight sheets done to a scale of 1:126,000 function as indexing maps. The eight sheets each contain contact prints of a number of aerial photographs juxtaposed (as a mosaic) to give a much broader aerial view than the individual photographs.
